A selection of this morning's Twitter messages:
Damn it, I have a headache! I thought electing Obama would FIX THINGS!
-- John Scalzi (eater of Schadenfreude Pie)
Prop 8 passed. Goddammit. I will continue to fight for equality for all people, and stand up against bigotry.
-- Wil Wheaton
and at least 4 was defeated. Abortions for all, miniature American flags for others!
-- Michaela Schlocker
Everyone on the subway is making eye contact and grinning. But there's also this look of shock, like none of us trust the fortune.
-- Mary Robinette Kowal
To recontextualize a phrase: AMERICA: FUCK YEAH!!!
-- Chang Terhune
Michael Crichton died?! :(
-- Felicia Day
On a related note, I will continue to buck the growing trend of using LoudTwitter to feed one's LiveJournal. A bunch of text messages strung together is no substitute for a coherent sequence of sentences, paragraphs, and ideas. Better to let your fields lie fallow than sow them with salt.
And my friend Ammy has some encouraging thoughts on The Battle, Not the War.
